Technical Apprentice (ICT Level 3).
Who you''d be joining.
Meta Eagle is a fast-growing Managed IT Services Provider based in the heart of Birmingham''s Jewellery Quarter. We bring more than just technology to the table, offering a suite of IT services, products, consultancy and monitoring capabilities, all wrapped into one simple monthly model that makes sense for the businesses we serve.
Founded by Lee Robinson, who brings 25 years of hands-on technical experience across corporate environments, SMEs and military service with the Royal Corps of Signals, Meta Eagle was built on a simple idea: IT should be clear, reliable, and make sense to the people using it. No jargon, no faff. Just IT that works.
We work with SMEs, schools, large corporates, and other IT providers through our white-label partner programme. This is not a stuffy corporate IT department. It''s a lean, motivated, highly capable team genuinely shaking up the industry, and we''re looking for someone ready to grow with us.
